Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I’m
not
casting
aspersions,
but
most
U.S.
attorneys
have
served
as
assistant
U.S.
attorneys
and
held
senior
roles
within
those
offices—that’s
valuable
experience.
—
Professor
Carl
W.
Tobias
of
the
University
of
Richmond
School
of
Law,
in
comments
given
to
the
New
Jersey
Law
Journal,
on
Alina
Habba’s
appointment
as
the
U.S.
Attorney
for
the
District
of
New
Jersey.
William
Maderer,
special
counsel
at
Saiber
who
once
served
as
chief
of
the
New
Jersey
USAO’s
special
prosecution
division,
echoed
Tobias’s
concerns,
saying,
“She
has
virtually
no
experience
in
federal
civil
law,
and
she
has
zero
experience
in
federal
criminal
law.
It’s
very
disconcerting.”
